If you have hundreds of Customers or Items and are drowning in detail you will find it difficult to understand your margin mix or see trends in your business. Why not Categorise your customers and items into similar groupings.
In MYOB allocate each customer to a number of different Custom Lists and Custom Fields.
For example group your customers by Type (Retailer / Wholesaler) and or Buying Group etc.
Once setup in MYOB these Custom Lists and Fields will appear in BI4Cloud where you can use them to:
- Group by
- Analyze by
- Filter
- Pivot on
- Visualize
- Compare
- In MYOB go to the Lists tab to Create a Custom List and give it a Name - e.g. Customer Type
- In MYOB Categorise each Customer to a Customer Type (go to Card Details tab on the Customer Card)
For further details on how to set these up in MYOB see the MYOB Help Site - Click here
